At 24 weeks, I started getting severe lower back pain, especially by the end of the day. My doctor recommended magnesium, but I read that some moms use midcalm injections. Is it safe at this stage of pregnancy and won't it harm the baby?
Don't go by what worked for other moms - every pregnancy is different, and only your doctor sees the full picture. Mydocalm and other muscle relaxants are used during pregnancy selectively and under strict supervision, and magnesium, which your specialist prescribed, is a proven option.
If the back pain is absolutely unbearable, ask your doctor to explain in detail why magnesium is better for you and your baby at this stage, or get a second opinion from another obstetrician - but don't self-medicate and don't listen to advice from the internet, even from other expectant moms 😊
